Abstract
An archery bow includes pivoting limb pockets for attaching two split limbs or a single limb to the bow handle. The limb pockets are secured to the handle by an adjustment bolt. Circular mating portions on the pocket and handle permit rotation of the pocket about the handle. A slug which is press-fitted in the handle provides lateral stability between the pocket and handle. The front wall of the pocket prevents limb movement in the axial direction and the top surface of the pocket limits upward movement.
